It is possible to use Dynamic M query for ODBC or OLEDB connection?

Dear Power BI experts,

 

My porblem is that i am trying Use OLEDB/ODBC connection for getting data to PowerBI

 

I am able to get the data but the problem is that I want use Dynmaic M Query for User Interaction to allow them to select date.

 

But If i am using the OLEDB or ODBC connection the "Bind to parameter" is not avaible for date selection

 

The "Bind to parameter is only enable SQL based connection.

FYI :-I have tried OLEDB and ODBC both in  Query Mode but results are unsatifactory.

 

I like to get any alternet Solution for User interation .

Vandan

Hi  @Anonymous ,

 

Dynamic M query parameters  (Bind to parameter option) is only available for some Direct Query source.

You can see a list of all currently supported data sources for Power BI that can be used with Direct Query here.
